Graduate of the Class of 2018 Dylon Newport was chosen to support global superstar Khalid on his Australian ‘It’s Always Summer Somewhere’ tour which started in Brisbane on 11 November.
Performing under the artist name Newport, he credits his upbringing in the Ferguson Valley and influences from his mum for inspiring him to pick up a guitar and teach himself to write and sing.
Newport’s sound is a blend of laid-back alternative pop, with soulful vocals and hip-hop influences. Now based in Perth, the 26-year-old’s breakout single Fickle has been streamed more than 8 million times and has been re-imagined with a new release ‘everything was fickle’ featuring US rap-pop artist Arden Jones.
Newport has also earned industry recognition as one of Triple J’s Forecast Artists of 2026, Apple Music’s Up Next Artist, featured as cover art on Spotify’s Fresh Finds playlist and YouTube Music Alt-Pop playlist, while his songs play on Triple J and radio stations. His songs have also featured in episodes of Home and Away!
After building an early fan base in Bunbury, Newport kicked off his first national tour at the Prince of Wales in 2025. Now based in Perth the 26-year-old has wrapped up a sold out second Australian headline tour. At the Froth Craft Brewery gig, he gave a shout out to Bunbury Catholic College which was welcomed with cheers from the many BCC alumni in the audience.
Congratulations Dylon, we are so proud of you!
